a Free Java-PDF library

So I had the idea to have two Writers listening to one document at the 
same time: com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter and 
com.lowagie.text.html.HtmlWriter. As the HTML format is less critical 
than PDF syntax, it was sufficient for me to take one look at the broken 
HTML file to see what high level object caused the Runtime error.    (01)

The moral of this long introduction is: HtmlWriter is a class that 
produces HTML, but it was only written for debugging reasons. If you are 
looking for a library that generates HTML, you will find other products 
with far more features and possibilities than provided with iText. If 
you want to generate documents in different formats simultaneously, than 
you might find HtmlWriter useful.

iText can write, read and manipulate PDFs.    (03)
